Don -

Most job numbers I've seen have been white.

Don -- here's the rear bulkhead job # 204 (looks like it was written by an assembly line worker that was on his back or glad that tomorrow he'd be on vacation). Same on passenger footwell (engine side) and doors (interior panels removed).

This is off my late 396 convertible (1885 cars after yours); St.Louis body S-7755.

Would'a guessed an ivory or light yellow crayon, but road grime has turned it darker. You can see where I took methanol on a rag and cleaned around the figures, being careful not to erase.

I think we need to distinguish AOS body cars from STL. AOS used something resembling a magic marker. The link below is typical of other AOS job numbers I have seen.

Don,

My 1965 AOS body has a job number that looks just like yours.

I also believe my Job number is white. Here are several photos and note that the numbers in the doors is one number higher than the footwell number. Go figure but there have been so many strange discoveries with this car including a typo trim tag for color.

Re: job # marker color ?

This is from the '65 we are restoring. It's the original mark made at the time the car was built. This is a St. Louis built body.

Hope this helps.

My April '65 St. Louis car has the job number in white on the body, but in green on the doors.
